I was taking photos over the weekend with my Olympus E-500 and the eyepiece viewfinder got darker than usual. I was using a promaster 5750DX flash. Even without the flash, the eyepiece viewfinder has remained dark. Also, I reset all settings to the default settings and now when the built in flash pops up, there are a series of three "beeps" and the camera tries to focus. I cannot get it to take a photo however.

Power problem I was trying to get the Olympus working with a DC power and the rubber protector says 6.5V. I have tried with a lab power supply and the camera just flashes ones and goes dead. The battery light is flashing. I have tried everything from 5V to round 7V and but nothing seems to do it. There is no shortage on current since this is a beefy lab supply...
Now the camera has gone dead and I'm afraid I have blown anything inside it since it would not start up with just batteries in the

Battery Problems The Canon PowerShot A480 is sucking the life out of the batteries! I get about half a dozen shots and it says I need new batteries - I change to fully-charged ones and as soon as I put them in they are almost gone (that icon is flashing at me). I have used new rechargeble and old ones ... I've used two different rechargers ... I've tried leaving the batteries in until the red light goes out on the charger and I've also tried leaving the batteries in for a day or so past the red

My 2 yr old Powershot A560 is not accepting new batteries. The lense telescopes and the lcd briefly lights up with the red battery symbol flashing. I can preview photos taken, but I cannot take any new photos. I just found a round flat battery? next to the AA batteries. I have not replaced it in the 2 yrs I've had my camera. The CR1220 serial number? is all I've found out about it on the battery holder. Thanks for your time.

The battery you found (CR1220) is for the camera memory.IE time and date.Chances are the batteries that were installed are dead.Also check the contacts on either end of the batteries and clean if needed. ...

Last night was taking photos indoors with flash on auto setting. All appeared fine except thre was a vertical line on the viewfinder, not quite half way across. After about 4 flash photos, the flash turned itself off and it wouldn't allow me to adjust the settings back to flash again. I checked the setting and it was still on auto and there was plenty of battery left. Tried a couple of shots and they took, but no flash, so useless. Turned camera off for half an hour then tried again and it was f

Everything seems to be working but the shutter release button. It does nothing, even depressing the button halfway for metering shows nothing. no indicators in viewfinder info line. I assumed it was a third party Battery problem, as there was a Impact battery being used primarily at the time. However replacing the Battery with a pentax battery didn't change anything. Camera not dropped, or damaged in any way, its a sudden problem i cannot seem to troubleshoot.

Internal battery has been in the camera and working for over 20 years. Figured it was about time to change it. Now nothing works. Battery is good and regular batterys are good. When putting in battery pack, the ISO # will flash.

Pentax Optio 555 Digital Camera. Once I have taken a couple of photos in a row, the camera continually flashes red & green. Like it is continually thinking. I cannot then even get the camera to shut down eithout removing the battery or just leaving it until it times itself out.
If i remove the battery, I still have to turn it on & then off again to get the lense to retract. Can you help to solve this problem. It does it no matter what the charge in the battery is like. Full or half used.

I cannot get the camera to Flash. Tried everything I know all settings.
The Manual indicates the correct setting for Flash but it won't flash. Fully charged battery no help.

As you have already stated that you have checked the settings, well in that case it could be a hardware problem wherein you will have to take the camera or servicingHowever before that i would request you to check the following settings o ...

I have a Nikon D70, it is flashing "clock" and only shows limited battery life, and the battery. I have tried different batteries in the same type camera but cannot use the camera. The display on the back of the camera will not display either. Any help?

Very slow After I take a picture it takes a very long time until I can take another one. The viewfinder lamp swithces slowly from green to orange and the camera is not responding to anything until the lamp stays green. It takes even longer if i used the flash. Anyway I can fix it? I opened the camera and I noticed there is a battery (like a watch battery). Can that be replaced? Anybody knows anything about this battery? Thank you in advance for any feedback.

Within the last few days, suddenly when I take a picture a picture there is a little red eye that is flashing on the left hand of the screen and the little green light at the top is flashing also and there is hesitation of about 15 seconds before a picture is taken and then the picture will have a redish tint to it when it processes. This just started and I have changed batteries out and powered the camera on and off several times and I have checked all of the settings, and still cannot figure

It sounds to me that the timer is on. That would certainly explain the blinking lights and the 15 second delay. There should be a button with what looks like a small clock on it to turn this feature on and off. You should also be able to find it i ...

My canon S1 IS keeps telling me to replace batteries. I have tried new batteries as well as cleaned contactswith the same result. Also there is nothing but light flashes in my display. Backlighting is ok and I can see the menu as well as the photos on my memory card, but cannot see through the lens in photo mode.

The battery issue is the least of your worries: the image sensor (ccd) has failed. The symptoms you describe are textbook examples and confirm my diagnosis without any shadow of doubt.Your camera is around six years old now so that's to b ...
